Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 3232: Su Xiangqiu

This concubine-born daughter was Su Xiangqiu. She was only a year younger than Su Zhuru.

“A woman whose betrothal had been broken off can actually still beco a consort in the palace,” Su Xiangqiu said. Her tone was thick with jealousy and bitterness, and her hands were twisting a handkerchief repeatedly.

Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. Could this girl be thinking about entering the palace? She was of suitable age, as she was fifteen.

The minimum age for the selection of palace consorts was fourteen.

Too bad she was a concubine-born daughter.

Sending a concubine-born daughter to the palace was like telling the emperor, ‘Our household doesn’t think highly of you, so here’s a concubine-born girl to fob you off.’

Ning Shu cursed inwardly. Trying to guess the emperor’s intentions was exhausting. A person’s mind was ever-changing, and truly understanding soone completely was impossible.

It was like 2333. Even after spending so much ti together, she still didn’t really know what kind of person 2333 was.

It was always selectively incompetent.

But it was impossible that 2333 was genuinely stupid.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes unceremoniously and said arrogantly, “My parents dote on . What, you want to enter the palace? Then go talk to them. What’s the point of being jealous of ?”

Su Xiangqiu was infuriated. “Sister, you’ve already lost your virtue. I really don’t understand what you’re so smug about.”

Ning Shu replied with a bright smile, “I am smug. That’s just the way I am.”

Su Xiangqiu: …

Su Xiangqiu was unwilling to bicker with her any longer, so she gave a curt bow and headed to Mada Rongguo’s courtyard.

Lianqiao imdiately said, “Miss, does Second Miss want to enter the palace and beco a consort too?

“But the marquis and madam already decided you’re the one going. Is Second Miss trying to take your place?”

Ning Shu brushed off her sleeves and smiled faintly. She feared that Marquis Xuanping wouldn’t give up on sending her to the palace so easily.

A concubine-born daughter simply didn’t carry enough weight.

In the end, the most likely outco was…

They’d both be sent.

A buy-one-get-one-free palace consort package deal.

Heh. Cute.

Ning Shu returned to her own courtyard. Whether she would enter the palace or not, she wasn’t sure.

She felt her task in this world was almost complete. It was probably ti to leave.

The choice of whether or not to enter the palace should be left to Su Zhuru, the entrustor.

She wanted to leave the world… leave this world… yet 2333 hadn’t given her any notice to depart.

Which ant the task still had to continue.

Should she make a rash appear on her face or go along with the selection?

It would be nice if the entrustor gave her a hint.

Luckily, it would take so ti for the fifth prince to ascend the throne and stabilize the court, which would give Ning Shu enough ti to stew in indecision.

Lianqiao kept chirping in her ear, warning her not to ‘let Second Miss steal her spot’.

While propping her chin on her hand, Ning Shu lazily asked, “Is entering the palace really all that great?”

“Of course it is,” Lianqiao replied. “To beco a consort, to bear an imperial prince, and after bearing an imperial prince…”

If she bore an imperial prince, he might one day inherit the throne, and she could beco dowager empress, the most revered woman under heaven.

Ning Shu continued Lianqiao’s words silently, in her heart.

“Whether I enter the palace or not depends on fate. Besides, consorts are chosen by the emperor. Whoever he fancies will get picked.”
